Create

Create NTP configuration on a target host. The server list is written to /etc/chrony/conf.d/osapi-ntp.conf and chrony is reloaded immediately. Idempotent: returns changed: false if already managed. Use update to change the server list:

$ osapi client node ntp create --target web-01 \
    --servers 0.pool.ntp.org --servers 1.pool.ntp.org

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  HOSTNAME  STATUS   CHANGED
  web-01    changed  true

  1 host: 1 changed

Broadcast to all hosts at once:

$ osapi client node ntp create --target _all \
    --servers 0.pool.ntp.org --servers 1.pool.ntp.org

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  HOSTNAME  STATUS   CHANGED
  web-01    changed  true
  web-02    changed  true

  2 hosts: 2 changed

When some hosts are skipped (e.g., macOS agents):

$ osapi client node ntp create --target _all \
    --servers 0.pool.ntp.org

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  HOSTNAME  STATUS   CHANGED
  web-01    changed  true
  mac-01    skip

  2 hosts: 1 changed, 1 skipped

  Details:
  mac-01    unsupported platform

JSON Output

Use --json to get the full API response:

$ osapi client node ntp create --target web-01 \
    --servers 0.pool.ntp.org --json
{"results":[{"hostname":"web-01","changed":true,"status":"ok"}],"job_id":"..."}
